After Mohan's comments I did some more digging... It appears rtl8139 was available in 2.2 kernels and has been replaced by 8139too. Sorry about misleading you with the "use whatever module the other distro uses" advice. I checked the source, and it does appear to be dependent on mii.c. As Mohan suggested, you'll want to run insmod /lib/modules/mii.o followed by insmod /lib/modules/8139too.o Hope that does it for you. If it works, be sure to backup modules.lrp after you adjust /etc/modules . --Brad > Mohan > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Brad Fritz > Sent: Tuesday, September 10, 2002 4:06 AM > To: Kyle Fitch > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [leaf-user] Unable to bring up interfaces > > > > On Mon, 09 Sep 2002 16:15:41 EST Kyle Fitch wrote: > > > Brad- > > Your info has been very helpful.
